Eversion

Product Information

The star of this speculative satire is Simone. He is a fashionite, a rarefied type of super influencer whose every whim is lavishly catered for and documented by magazines read only by fashionites. For example, during a brief hospitalisation, he spies a regular proletarian gown among the haute couture medical gowns available to him. He complains and the item is summarily burned. I'm Al, I used to be a space scientist, and now I'm a writer, although for a time the two careers ran in parallel. I started off publishing short stories in the British SF magazine Interzone in the early 90s, then eventually branched into novels. I write about a novel a year and try to write a few short stories as well. Some of my books and stories are set in a consistent future named after Revelation Space, the first novel, but I've done a lot of other things as well and I like to keep things fresh between books.

Before that, I completed the last two novels in the Revenger sequence about the Ness sisters, SHADOW I will say, though, that this is not a typical big Reynolds story. It carries a different vibe from the majority of his work I’ve read. It matches his more character focused novellas in scope, delivering on human moments with a hefty side helping of science fiction “ideas.” So while I was a little disappointed that he didn’t go harder in the paint with his bread and butter, I was more than satisfied by the particular exploration offered here. THE MEDUSA CHRONICLES (2016): with Stephen Baxter. Steve and I hatched an idea to write a sequel to Arthur C Clarke’s seminal short story “A Meeting with Medusa” and with the kind permission of the Clarke estate we were able to do so. Our novel takes the character Howard Falcon and catapults him across centuries of tension and strife between human and robotic forces, with Falcon as an uneasy and at times unwilling intermediary between the two.

The characters also had such a big role to play in this. Silas is well-written and sympathetic. You only get to know a part of him when the book begins, but it’s enough to know that he’s a caring and dedicated doctor, well-liked among the crew. As the story progresses, we get to meet Silas in the other timelines and learn more about him as more of his personality and motives are revealed. And the beauty is that the full picture won’t be revealed until the very end. Eversion was such a unique book! This is one of those stories that doesn’t really come together until the very end, so readers will need to be patient. But the ultimate payoff was worth the wait, and the journey was fascinating. Despite my confusion for most of the book, I loved following the mystery of the Demeter and its fantastical voyage through time and space.
